Q:

How is Datatrain training priced?

A:

Pricing depends on the number of users that access the training and the number of courses that you license. Therefore, Datatrain can be as expensive or inexpensive as you desire. A few courses for a handful of people may only be around a thousand dollars. A full training solution for hundreds of students across 100 to 200 courses could be in the tens of thousands of dollars. Clients typically license the training on a 12, 24, or 36-month lease and discounts are available for the multiple-year leases. All technical support, course upgrades, and new courses in the licensed library are included at no extra cost in the lease.
